Sale Start Date/Time: Target's sale this year will start at 5 pm on Thanksgiving Day, which is an hour earlier than past year. It will close at 1 am on Friday morning before reopening at 7 am.

Sale Format: Target usually has a fairly standard format of offering online deals the entire weekend, while still having some in-store exclusives. One big draw of their sale is that free shipping is available for every order, regardless of the size. With 1000's of deals, Target will have some of the best prices this year of video games and televisions, and this is not an exaggeration. Out of the biggest stores, Target's discount has had the highest average in recent years. Free shipping on all orders with no minimum.

Special Promotions: Target has historically included gift cards with many of their deals, and 2018 is no exception. Get a $10 Target gift card when spending $69.95 on an Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 6-qt pressure cooker.

Target Black Friday 2018 Shopping Tips

Free Holiday Shipping: Target offers free two-day shipping with no minimum order size during the holidays. The free two-day shipping with no minimum order size is new for 2018, and it will be valid from November 1 through December 22. Many of Target's competitors, including Walmart and Amazon, are likely to have free shipping minimums this year. For smaller orders under $35 or $25, Target is the clear place to shop online when it comes to other big-box retailers.

Save an Additional 5% with a Target REDcard: Singing up for a Target REDcard allows you to save an additional 5 percent online and in retail stores. Considering Black Friday already offers a ton of deep discounts, a REDcard can take an additional 5 percent off already low prices. Finally, many items also qualify for free two-day shipping when you buy it with a REDcard, which is even more value on Black Friday when you are looking to get your items as soon as possible.

Target is Our Top Cyber Monday Store: While Target's Black Friday sale is always solid, its Cyber Monday sale is always one of the best. For the past few seasons, it has featured an additional 15 percent off orders on Target.com, which means you are saving even more on already low sale prices.
